This modest private residence is located in Basalt Colorado. The architectural character is reminiscent of Colorado's past with its log cabin look and use of rustic natural materials. The strict design guidelines for the entire neighborhood ensure cohesive architecture and friendly human scale.
Given the relatively small allowable floor area, the open floor plan is used to maximize the main living area and creates a bright spacious interior. The living room further enhances this with a soaring cathedral ceiling that dramatically increases the interior volume. The large patio doors open to an oversized porch that extends the living area even further.
